Sacrifice the Flesh

Gracious Father above, I have seen the proof of Your Love.
Guide my mind and my heart to see your gracious heart.
Help me to recoil in disgust over a heart that lives to lust.
I want to be one to trust and not be reduced to the dust.
Your treasure is for me from above,
Out of the riches of Your love
I would boast of the strength I have in You
If only I knew how to be true
Teach me Your ways O Lord
I want to receive the reward
Of Your precious Son as my groom
To live forever not doomed
In the presence of Your glorious light
Remembering just how much it cost in the fight.
Sacrifice myself to your care
Laying my soul to bare
The scars of Your Holy One
On My Heart write Your Son.
